Terrible Disaster.

Saturday night ut $50 the Parallel
a schooner of 142 tong, went ashore ut
Point Lobos, Just north of the Cliff
House, San Francisco. The schooner
had on board some 40 tons of Giant
Powder and the concussion caused by
the vessels striking the rocts exploded
the cargo causing shock which Was
supposed by the residents of the city to
be all earthquake. Fully nne half of
the Cliff House is in ruins and the ex-
posed portions Of the cottages east of
and belonging to the Cliff House were
split into kindling wood. Fragments
OF the wreck were hurled through the
air to great distance, and the terror of
the inmates of the houses was added to
by huge ship timbers crashing through
the roofs. The glass in Sutro's resi-
dence WIS blown to pieces, the building
much damaged aud the costly statuary
shattered into fragments.
Three members of the life SAVING
crew, and Mrs. Pierson, wife of the
proprietor of the Cliff House, are seri-
ously if not fatally injured. A curious
thing about the wreck is that no one
was on board, ind up to clock Suu
day morning no tidinys of the missing
crew hud been obtained aud it is n mys-
terry what became of them. 1t Ii prob,.-
BILE, however, that they took to the
boats before the ship struck and US
til, re WAS only II moderate surf running
they may have reached the city in safe-
ty.

The Fish BILL,

A number Of the prominent citizens of
Elko hive drawn up aud forwarded to
our representatives ut Carson City a bill
which has for its object the preserva-
ton OF the fish in the Humboldt river
and its tributaries, and the measur. is
one of such Importance that We trust no
member of the Legislature will full 10
see the Importance of it's adoption.
AS il we'll known the Humboldt and
its tributaries furnish the finest 1ish in
the world, and it is really a misfortune
that there should be such Wholesale de-
stluction of trout us will eventually de-
plcte tue streams and leave Us destitute
OF the recreation and sport of fishing
with hook and Rhe, as welli ns tue
means of supplying our tables with the
finest food in existence.
The provisions OF the bill in uestion
are to make it u misdemeanor to tuke
fish from these streams. in any manner
from the LIST day of January to the LIST
day Of May, or for anyone to procure
fish from IN Indian at any season of the
year either by barter or purchase. 1t is
believed that the passage of this bill
will tend to preserve the trout to q great
extent, and everyone who takes |.
pleasure in piscatorial sport. and who
does not, will see the utility of the adop-
ton of this measure and we hope that
IL will meet with no opposition wien
Presented for the consid. ration OF our
law makers.

BY potting the bulbs about the middle
OF September they can be brought into
bloom for the Christmas holidays. A con-
tinuous supply of the flowers can be kept
up through the winter by potting few
at intervals of two weeks all through the
autumn.
The bulbs increase more than double
every year. During the resting stage
there is no better way to keep them than
to leave them in the pots where they have
bloomed, keeping them quite dry, for if
they are moistehed they will commence
to grow.
The following directions are given in
Vick's Magazine: A soil composed of
loan, leaf mold and well decayed manure
and little sand, such as is commonly
used in potting, is suitable half dozen
bulbs can be set in four inch pot, filling
the soil about them to their tips, or just
to cover them. Give water and set them
in cool place in the greenhouse, conserva-
tory or window. They do not need much
heat, temperature of 90 degrees being
plenty. They should be near the glass,
and not be kept too close, but having air
given frequently in favorable weather.
About ten degrees more of heat can be
allowed as the poisoning season ap-

the horse the seat of the disease is in the
delicate and highly sensitive little plates
called lamin1 surrounding the inside Of
the hoof which being also an unyelding
substance, it necessarily follows that
when these sensitive little plates become
inflamed and swollen within the unyicld-
ing hoof intense pain to the animal is the
result. The disease is commonly found
in the forcfcct only, and when both are
affected, as they usually are, the animal
when standing will be generally found
with its back arched and hind feet drawn
forward toward the center of the body,
causing many to think it is strained
across the loins. The animal thus af-
fected, when required to move, does so in
an unwilling, stumbling way. The pulse
has n full, throbbing feeling and is some
what quickcned and can be felt
on the outside of the leg, near the fetlock,
and the breathing is accelerated. The
principal causes of the disease are immod-
crate drinking of cold water when the an
imal is overheated; overfeeding of grain,
especially of corn, and overdriving on a
hard road.
In cases where the disease is caused by
spontaneous diarrhna or excessive use of
purgative medicines, as it is sometimes,
tHc JIOlcSSOI DeHGIU lTOIu the use
of tincture of aconite in doses of ten to
fifteen drops in little water, every two
hours until four or five doses have been
taken, to be followed by two drachm doses
of nitrate of potash dissolved in half II
pint of water and given once in four hours
for from two to four days as may be re-
CURED On the other hand, if the disease
arises from surfeit of grain, the bowels
should be unloaded by laXatives, say
twenty-five fluid ounces of raw linseed
oil, and no solid food for twenty -four
hours afterward. When laXatives have
done acting, nitrate of potash may follow
rs before. Where it is the result of over
driving on hot days, great benefit has been
found from nitrate Of potash. Local
treatment is of great importance, and
consists in the application of water to the
feet in a manner the most convenient.
Standing in water or in n puddle of blue
clay and water are stated as having been
useful. Exercise should he given from
the first, from ten minutes to half an hour
at a time.

Slavery in Brazil.

The emancipation of the slaves in Brazil
was commenced in 1878, when the number
registered in the empire was 1,53O,0OO A
registration completed on the 30th of March
this year shows not more than half this num-
Der of slaves although in the fifteen years the
black population has largely increased. In
the cities the decrease has been more rapid
than in the country. In Rio Janeiro in 1878,
there were $4,000 slaves registered; in June,
1885, there were but $4,000, and on the LIST of
April, 1887, only TAGS. In the other cities of
Brazil about the same proportion holds good.
Even in the coffee districts, in which there
was the greatest opposition to emancipation
and the number of slaves greatest, the re-
turns indicate that despite the large number
of slaves imported from the northern prov
inces of the empire, the new registration will
show a decrease Of fully one-half since 1873
We have therefore some reliable data upon
which to found the estimate that the slaves in
Brazil do not now exceed 100000, none of
whom are under 16 or over GO years of age

BARE WIRE AND HEDGE FENCE.

L.
1t is perfectly hardy, thick and hedge
like in growth, easily raised from SEED
transplanted with facility, and, having an
offensive taste, is not browsed by cattle.
1t is made into strong barrier by stretch
ing barb wire along the top of the line
Of plants when they are foot or two
high, and when they have grown up and
inclosed the wire, by stretching another
foot or more above the first. If neces-
sary, a third wire may be used still higher;
and as the hedge incloses these wires they
are more securely held in their place than
could be done by using line of stakes,
the temporary stakes having performed
their service. For durability, the wire
should be galvanized, not painted.
The privet would make an excellent
hedge treated in this way were it not for
the fact that it is occasionally winter
killed in patches. The barberry is an
other plant which may be employed and
the seed if properly treated will grow as
freely as apple seed.
The illustration shows how line of
young Norway spruces are treated. They
are represented about two feet in height,
the first or lowest wire being already in
closed by them and the second one placed
Just above the tips. The third one will
be reached in year or two more The
hedge will need cutting back afterward to
keep it within bounds-not sheared like q
wall, but cut with q knife to give it q
more uneven and natural surface. -Coun-
try Gentleman.
